but really if you’re not listening to MegaRan you are totally missing out
the majority of his stuff is videogame-based raps that will make any gamer grin because it’s done with such cleverness and love for the medium
but then there’s TRAP which foregoes almost all videogame references, gets pretty heavy at times and it is e x c e l l e n t and he is so fucking genuine daammnn i just really really love his work
great game 10/10 well implemented hack-protection nice great yep
boots me in the middle of character creation every time, i know others are having this problem too

everytime i see people talking like this it just makes me shake my head
maybe because i just dont give a shit at all and rather just enjoy a game???????
I like to think there’s a difference between what I do and what this blog does.
At the end of the day, video games come down to money. There are problematic elements to every video game, just as there are to every book and movie and TV show. But does that totally negate a game’s worth? Of course not.
This blog seems so quick to condemn absolutely everything about, say, Persona. It’s like, seriously? If you can’t see the good as well as the bad, you’re not doing it right.
So I just had a quick scroll through the blog in question.
WOW somebody needs to lighten the fuck up…
and holy shit they’re one of the many crazy OTT social justice types who completely misinterpreted Naoto
Her issue isn’t that she’s transgendered, it’s that her interests lie in areas that are often gender-defined by society as masculine, so she thinks that in order to persue them she has to be a man… that’s why it’s actually refreshing to see her express her femininity more and more as her story progresses. It’s a societal gender-roles issue, not a transgender one.
edit: i just sent them an ask about this SO LETS SEE HOW THAT GOES i do not expect them to respond favourably though

hahaha the FF7 track is Golden Saucer, this album is sounding awesome
guys I
I kinda really want to set up a lets play type blog but this laptop can’t handle that much in the way of GRAFIX… I’m talking like SNES, Genesis, DS, etc level at most, I haven’t tried n64/ps1/saturn on it yet though I’ll give it a go.
I also prefer rpgs, and I’d rather play something I’ve already played through most of before so I can give a bit of insight into it as I go but uh
Y’know, that doesn’t leave much aside from like
- Any Pokemon - everyone has played them all a million times and they’re not that interesting to cover
- Final Fantasy 6 - which I am far from the authority on
- Final Fantasy 7 - which I adore but has one of the worlds worst fanbases also I might not even be able to run it lol
- Grandia - if I could even get it to run and also get past the numerous bits I always get stuck on
- Wild ARMs - again if I could get it to run?
- ????
My knowledge base is severely limited to ps1 & ps2 jRPGs so even just finding something I want to play that will work on this dumb laptop is a struggle that makes me think this probably is in fact not worth my time
But by all means drop me suggestions/advice lol

E3 2012 Drinking Game
Get ready, gamers! It’s that magical time of the year when dreams can be made and hopes can be destroyed. E3 is upon us and the world is watching in excitement to see what the future holds for video games.

Some idiot drives to a town with bad weather and sticks his hand down the toilet to find his dead wife
Some fucking nerd is in a movie theater and his bitchy ass girlfriend gets stolen by some asshole. Then the nerd gets pulled into the movie world and fights shit in spandex.
An elf in a green shirt runs around with a lame fairy trying to get a mask back from some scarecrow.
Two fat dinosaurs blow rainbow bubbles because they don’t even have fire breath.
Some dumb kid listens to the advice of a fucking fly that came out of a goddamn meteor and goes to save the world with his fucking helpless girlfriend, a total nerd, and some asian toolbag. And in the end they don’t even fight the dude that was causin’ all this shit; they just sit around and fucking cry about it.
Some tool is trying to save his bro, who stupidly ran ahead to check out this house he won in a contest he didn’t enter, which turned out to be haunted.
Good job guys.
Yah this weird kid with retarded hair uses a giant key to pummel pretty much anything he wants with it. And it fills your ass with disney characters. Also the plot is so convoluted at this point that half of the series doesn’t make any sense
You are playing a lawyer and getting to make 1 and 1 half choice once in a while. The rest of the time, you are reading dialouge. That’s it. There’s spelling mistakes in the game and destiny seems to hate your character, the laws make no sense and all odds are generally stacked against you for unrealistic reasons.
A guy with PTSD, a barmaid, a token black guy, a flower girl, a dog, a chainsmoker, a vampire, and a ninja team up to stop a guy in a leather coat from dropping a big rock on everyone. They fail at that, so instead they decide to just kill him hoping the big rock will go away.
It doesn’t.
Also there’s some faux environmentalism greenpeace shit thrown in there because WHY NOT?!!?!
I just realised that if you describe Sephiroth really vaguely, he is only a fedora away from being KING DOUCHE.
